Please go learn about modern Ryzen power and performance management, namely Precision Boost Overdrive and Curve Optimizer - and how to undervolt an AM4/AM5 processor.

The stuff the chip and motherboard do, completely built-in, is light-years ahead of what you're doing. Your power-saving techniques (capping max frequency) are more than a decade out of date.

You'll get better performance and power savings to boot.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm actually using dual EPYC server processors in this workstation, not Ryzen. I'm not sure EPYC supports PBO/Curve Optimizer functionality that's available in AM4/AM5 platforms.

That said, I'm definitely interested in learning more about processor-specific optimizations for EPYC. If there are server-focused equivalents to what you've mentioned that would work better than frequency capping, I'd love to explore them!

For people with Intel processors, check out raplcap: https://github.com/powercap/raplcap

It lets you set specific power consumption limits in W instead of attempting to do the same by restricting maximum core frequencies (which could also be useful in addition to overall power limits).
